How to piss off your English teacher with a short film

You\’ve watched a lot of cartoons, like the ones with pictures in English textbooks in primary and secondary schools, have you ever seen them? The cartoon that San Cun Ding is going to talk about today, the hero and heroine simply jumped out of the textbook, the foreign version of Li Lei and Han Meimei… Huh! There can be such weird animations in the world! Although its character looks very much like Li Han, the story is not that youthful and beautiful. There are no \”How are you?\” and \”I\’m fine, thank U. And U?\”… Come on, please enter carefully – \”Rabbit\” Rabbit first tells the story of its strange chicken. (The style of painting is very visual when printed in textbooks. You can understand it without me telling you.) The story takes place on a farm, and Han Meimei discovers a rabbit. Rabbits are so cute, they must be caught. When Li Lei saw this, he jumped down from the tree and sent the rabbit to the west with one kick. Nani… turned dark so quickly. No, that\’s more… They brought the dead rabbit home, and Han Meimei split the rabbit open with a single blow. A little golden man actually jumped out of it with \”idol\” written on his head. You can call him a little devil. This little golden devil is so powerful that he can turn flies into jewelry, ink and quills. When Han Meimei and Li Lei saw that the little devil had such magical powers, they immediately imagined that if they raised it, it would soon reach the pinnacle of life, become a king and a queen, and count money at home. Thinking about it this way, I am so happy. In order to make money, Han Meimei and Li Lei began to make evil plans… kill animals, use the corpses to attract flies, and then turn them into more gems. They also sell ink and quills to vendors in exchange for ketchup that feeds the little devil. If making up stories is so fun, wouldn’t I just study and make progress every day? This short film is the most famous work in the life of the author Run Wrake (1965-2012), and it is also one of the three independent films he produced (yes, such a talented author has left us). The other two are Jukebox (1994) and Down with the Dawn (2012). JukeboxDown with the Dawn is recommended that you check it out when you have time. Speaking of the source of inspiration for \”Rabbit\” – Run Wrake once found a bunch of spelling card illustrations from the 1950s in a thrift store, so he started to think about it. What if he incorporated literacy cards into the animation? How about fun? So in the picture you see, every object has a word in bold above its head. In addition, since Run Wrake is engaged in graphic design, his works are often filled with the application of multiple artistic elements, such as Dada art, pop art and punk graphics. If you can see where it comes from, you must be a trendy person. In addition, his works are not only fun and stylish, but also contain profound meanings. The dark story of \”Rabbit\”, with the golden devil turning insects into jewelry, can easily be connected with our modern consumer culture and universal success philosophy. Coupled with heavy-mouthed scenes that occasionally shed blood, and the contrast between cute characters and scary storiesWell, the whole process was filled with a twisted sense of uneasiness, which made me feel fuzzy and a little hopeful… Han Meimei and Li Lei looked a little evil. Run Wrake also often collaborates with other artists to create. In 1995, Wrake joined animation studio Bermuda Shorts and first worked with Scottish musician and producer Howie B. through Bermuda. In 1997, he also worked with American street painting artists Keith Haring and Roy Lichenstein to create unique visuals for U2\’s Popmart tour. Popmart Oh I forgot! It seems that Han Meimei and Li Lei’s heavy taste story hasn’t been finished yet… It’s nice to think about a room full of jewelry, but will this good thing last?
